SHAH ALAM: A video has emerged showing the moment a landslide struck near a residential area in Persiaran Kosmos, Section U5, yesterday, causing damage to a retaining wall.
The closed-circuit television (CCTV) footage, which has been circulating on social media, shows the ground shifting before a section of the slope collapses, sending soil and debris crashing down.
The impact caused a metal fence to buckle and debris to spill onto the concrete flooring, with parts of the surrounding structure also appearing to be damaged.
The footage later shows mud, rocks and other debris scattered across the affected area.
The landslide damaged a concrete retaining wall and exposed part of the slope near the residential area.
Selangor Fire and Rescue Department assistant operations director Ashrul Riezal Asbar said firefighters received a distress call at 9.55am yesterday.
A team of four personnel from the Sungai Buloh Fire and Rescue Station arrived at the scene at 10.12am.
“No casualties were reported,” he said.
Photographs released by the department showed sections of the retaining wall displaced and tilted, with several concrete blocks apparently having collapsed.
The landslide also exposed soil beneath a building at the top of the slope, raising concerns over the stability of the affected area.
Several coconut trees were also seen near the damaged slope.
Ashrul said firefighters monitored the site to ensure there was no immediate danger to the public.
He said the case had been referred to the Shah Alam City Council (MBSA) for further action.
